In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Stan Kurtz, founder of Quantum Research, to explore why so many people feel foggy, wired, inflamed, or stuck, even when they are trying to live “healthy.” This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic stress, low energy, anxious loops, or persistent brain fog and wondering what else might be driving it. Stan shares how he uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to look for possible stressors like water-related contaminants, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and long-lasting medication remnants, plus why nervous system regulation can change how we think and respond fast. About the Guest: Stan Kurtz is the founder of Quantum Research. His work uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to study factors that may interfere with clarity and performance. His journey began after his son was diagnosed with autism. Key Takeaways: If your mind keeps looping on the past or future, ask what is driving fight-or-flight. Common “load factors” he looks for include heavy metals and pesticide residues. Water quality matters more than people think, so be intentional about what you drink. Regulation can shift your ability to problem-solve even when circumstances stay hard. Consider tracking patterns (sleep, stress, digestion, focus) before chasing quick fixes.

In this conversation with co-host Steve Kraus, he explains why complexity is one of healthcare's biggest threats, how public frustration is reshaping policy, and why the path to better health may be far simpler than we think.We cover:

You can be doing “everything right” and still feel off: poor sleep, low energy, brain fog, and slipping motivation. This episode reframes the hidden factor many high-performing men overlook: regular social drinking. If you're a man in your 40s or 50s who drinks “normally” but feels like your performance is sliding, Clifford Stephan shares why a longer, strategic break (not a quick dry month) can help you reset sleep, mood, cravings, and resilience, without shame or extreme labels.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life, to unpack a simple but high impact idea. Show up with love and kindness in each now. Nick shares how a pair of knee high pink socks turned into an organic global kindness movement. From healthcare conferences to everyday moments on a bus or in a grocery line, the core message stays the same. Real connection beats nonstop connectivity. You will also hear a practical reset for caregivers and high performers who pour into everyone else. Start with self love. Then use small human moments to build the muscle of compassion, presence, and empathy. About the Guest: Nicholas Adkins is the founder of Pink Socks Life, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of Pink Socks. How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks have been gifted worldwide as a signal for belonging, kindness, and human connection. Key Takeaways: Pink Socks Life started as a simple conference strategy. Gift fun pink socks. Start conversations. Build real relationships that scale into community. The “movement” became organic when strangers in places like the Netherlands and Wales sourced pink socks to support health causes and connection. “Heartspeak” is what happens when you slow down, look someone in the eyes, and make space for their story with empathy and no judgment. Connection is different from connectivity. Phones, apps, and social platforms are tools. Real connection is presence, listening, and shared humanity. Kindness is not soft. It is operational leadership. One sincere conversation can shift a room, a workplace culture, or a hospital hallway. Love and fear show up in every moment. You choose. Love looks like compassion, patience, forgiveness, and cooperation. Fear looks like anger and shame. The real gift is not the socks. The real gift is holding space for another human, especially when they are carrying grief or struggle. If you are great at caring for others but bad at caring for yourself, start with one micro habit. Give yourself grace. Then practice love in low stakes moments. End of day reflection builds self awareness. Where did I choose love today. Where did I miss it. What will I try in the next now.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with bestselling author and keynote speaker David McNally to explore what it truly means to age with vitality. David reframes “successful aging” away from surface markers like money or staying busy, and toward something deeper: rich life experiences, meaningful contribution, and a compelling reason to get up each morning. He shares how many people feel lost after retirement because their sense of relevance was validated externally—through meetings, emails, and titles—until it suddenly disappears. The remedy, he explains, is finding relevance from within by rediscovering mission, gifts, and service. David offers grounded, practical ways to reconnect with purpose: reflect on what inspires you, who inspires you, and what fulfills you, then choose where your talents can add value. He also challenges the “too old” mindset, emphasizing that creativity expires only when we do—and that the brain and imagination can keep expanding. Finally, he highlights acceptance and peace of mind as essential to aging well, and recommends simple daily habits like journaling, reading something uplifting, and doing one small act to improve someone else's day. About the Guest: David McNally is a bestselling author (Even Eagles Need a Push, Be Your Own Brand, and If You Are Alive, Your Mission on Earth Isn't Finished), award-winning documentary producer, and Speaker's Hall of Fame member. His work focuses on purpose, resilience, and human potential, shaped by profound personal loss and his own health journey. Key Takeaways: Measure success by experiences, meaning, and relationships—not just achievements. Purpose is a “reason to get up,” especially after work life ends. Retirement can trigger a relevance gap; rebuild relevance from the inside out. Ask: What inspires me? Who inspires me? What fulfills me? Creativity doesn't expire with age—growth is still available. Acceptance creates peace of mind: control what you can, release what you can't. Daily habits: journal/reflect, read uplifting material, move toward a goal, help someone.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Dr. Christal L. Badour to cut through the internet noise around trauma healing. They break down what actually happens in the brain and body during trauma. Why memory can show up as vivid snapshots with gaps. And why that is a survival feature, not a personal defect. Dr. Badour also explains how to spot credible healing information in a world full of “pretty but flimsy” wellness content. She points listeners to research-backed sources like global and national trauma organizations, then adds a grounded take on generative AI. It can help you find reputable resources, but it is not a replacement for real clinical care or human connection. The conversation closes with a practical shift. Trauma-informed environments change everything. Families, workplaces, and communities can support recovery by moving from “what's wrong with you” to “what happened to you” and “what do you need.” About the Guest: Dr. Christal L. Badour is a licensed clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of Science for Survivors. She has led federally funded research on PTSD and substance use, trains clinicians, and translates paywalled research into real-world language survivors and communities can use. Key Takeaways: Trauma responses start during the event. Your brain's #1 KPI is survival, not comfort. The limbic system ramps up fast. The amygdala helps drive threat detection and intense emotions. Trauma memories can store as sharp snapshots with gaps. That is common and not “proof” you are broken. Confusion after trauma is often the brain reviewing threat data, not weakness or failure. Online healing content can look credible because production quality is not evidence. Packaging is not peer review. Start with research-grounded hubs like the World Health Organization and major trauma education networks. Evidence-based tools and spiritual reflection can coexist. Real humans do not heal in tidy categories. Generative AI can act like an advanced search engine for credible sources. It should not replace therapists or care teams. Trauma and substance use often intersect. Coping via substances is not a moral failing, but it can become harmful over time. Trauma-informed workplaces improve outcomes. Shift from blame to support and psychological safety. How Listeners Can Connect With the Guest Website: http://www.scienceforsurvivors.com/  Explore Dr. Badour's blog on trauma recovery science.

If you've been saying “I have a book inside me” and then immediately talking yourself out of it. This episode is your reality check and your roadmap. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Suzanne Doyle-Ingram, bestselling author and founder of the Expert Author Program, to break down what actually gets a nonfiction book finished and published without turning it into a five-year guilt project. Suzanne shares how she went from panic-mode during the 2008 crash to writing a surprise bestseller. Then she reveals the bigger truth. The win isn't book sales, it's building a book that sells your expertise, attracts clients, and opens speaking and visibility opportunities. You'll learn why most aspiring authors get stuck. No outline, no reader clarity, and no protected time. This conversation is part mindset, part practical execution. Perfect for coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals ready to publish a business book that builds authority. About the Guest: Suzanne Doyle-Ingram is a bestselling author who has written and co-written 20+ books. She coaches business professionals to write, publish, and leverage nonfiction books for authority, clients, and speaking opportunities. Her team has supported 1,000+ experts through the book creation process. Key Takeaways: If you're “waiting until you're ready” to write. That's usually self-sabotage dressed as productivity. Write for your ideal reader, not your ego. A reader should feel “this was written for me.” Your ideal client and ideal reader are often the same person. Get crystal clear on their problems, fears, and goals. Outlines are non-negotiable. No outline means you're dragging readers through a forest with no path. Trending-topic books can make quick money but can burn you out fast. Passion plus strategy wins long-term. A book can be “not a bestseller” and still be a business asset that lands contracts, partnerships, and credibility. Protect your writing time like a meeting with your biggest client. Put it on your calendar and defend it. People-pleasing delays books. Learning to say “no” speeds up publishing more than any writing hack. Editors polish words. An outline protects structure, clarity, and trust. Your gift feels easy to you. That's exactly why it's valuable to others and worth turning into a book.

In this deeply real episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with 19-year-old speaker and mentor Lawrence Harris, who has transformed profound personal pain into a mission of purpose. From being kicked out at 13 to battling CPTSD, Lawrence shares how he built resilience not as a buzzword, but as a way of surviving—and thriving. This conversation explores the unglamorous truth of healing, the discipline of self-love, and why encouragement—not expectation—is what youth really need today. About the Guest:Lawrence Harris is a youth mentor, digital entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. Despite his age, he brings lived wisdom shaped by adversity and fueled by an unbreakable will to rise. Kicked out of his home as a teenager and navigating mental health challenges, Lawrence rebuilt his life through small acts of self-discipline, empowering content, and by mentoring others. He now helps young people find their voice and purpose, offering tools through his books, courses, and social platforms. Key Takeaways: Resilience is about choosing to keep going, especially when quitting feels easier. Self-love starts with small habits like brushing your teeth or cleaning your space—discipline before affirmation. Healing is personal; Lawrence emphasizes surrounding yourself with affirming people and cutting off toxic influences. Today's youth don't need pressure to perform—they need validation to be. We must be careful not to glorify trauma but instead showcase the transformation and offer actionable guidance for others.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack the real reason small businesses stall. Leadership gaps. Rich shares what he learned across a 45-year career acquiring and turning around small businesses. Hiring “experienced” leaders from outside often fails because they miss the realities of small business and they can break trust with internal teams. Promoting great employees can fail too when people get a title without training. Rich explains how self-imposed limitations show up in frontline employees. From emotional baggage and self-doubt to the belief that “I'm just a technician.” He also lays out what actually works. Practical support, direct feedback, consistent leadership conversations, and a culture rooted in shared values. If you want to build leaders who can run the business without you, this is the blueprint. About the Guest: Rich Ashton is a longtime entrepreneur and operator who developed an internal leadership training program after repeatedly seeing outside hires fail and internal promotions struggle. He is the author of “Growing Your Own. Common Sense Advice for Developing Leaders in Small Business.” Key Takeaways: Outside hires can flop in small businesses because they do not understand the pace, constraints, and culture. Internal promotions fail when people are expected to lead without training and real coaching. Self-imposed limitations often sound like “I'm not leadership material” or show up as emotional reactivity and low confidence. Some employees never saw leadership modeled at home or at work. That shapes what they believe is possible for them. Leadership growth works best as a step-by-step process. Not a one-time workshop. Make development mentally safer by pairing support with clear accountability. Kind but direct beats vague and “nice.” Connection comes first. Leaders get better results when they understand what makes people tick. A simple operating rhythm matters. Rich used bi-weekly leadership blogs and then forced discussion in meetings. That unlocked real behavior change. If you are a business owner you are not automatically a leader. Build your own leadership skills or get help fast. Shared values like integrity, customer service, and employee empowerment create culture alignment and reduce leadership friction.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Caroline Crocker to unpack what “unforgivable” feels like through a child's eyes. They explore childhood trauma, shame, grief, and the hidden ways pain rewires identity. Caroline shares a deeply personal story about her father's Holocaust-era childhood and how trauma can silently shape families for generations. You will also hear practical, grounded steps for healing, like naming one truth, finding one safe witness, and building nervous system safety without forcing a “quick fix.” This conversation is for anyone navigating PTSD, intergenerational trauma, emotional healing, and mental health recovery. About the Guest: Dr. Caroline Crocker is an international speaker, multi-genre author, and storyteller. She has a background as a microbiologist, immunologist, medical researcher, professor, nonprofit founder, and tech startup CEO. As the daughter and granddaughter of World War II survivors, she writes and speaks on trauma, survival, and how painful history can echo through families. Key Takeaways: Childhood trauma can feel “unforgivable” because kids process danger through fear, rage, numbness, and shutdown, not adult logic. Survivors often internalize blame, believing they are “unforgivable”, which fuels shame, silence, and self-sabotage. Trauma echoes through generations via learned rules like hypervigilance, food hoarding, and emotional disconnection, even when no one names the root cause. A single memory can define a lifetime, like a child being unable to save a friend, and the grief resurfacing decades later. What looks like “rebellion” or “acting out” can be an intelligent survival strategy for an unsafe home or institution. Forgiveness is framed as a practical tool for forward movement, not instant forgetting or excusing harm. Healing benefits from sharing the story with one safe witness, a friend, therapist, support group, or helpline, to break isolation and reality-check shame. Notice family beliefs you inherited, especially fear-based messages about safety, trust, or relationships, and choose new scripts. Focus on daily regulation, small moments of beauty, breath, nature, and kindness, to retrain the nervous system toward safety. One concrete next step: write one honest sentence about what still affects you, then share a small piece of it with someone safe within a week.

In this Healthy Waves episode, host Sayan talks with Alexander and Viki about “Source Cards”. A practical spiritual framework that maps your birthdate into a birth card and a 13-card life path using the 52 playing card deck. The conversation focuses on why high-achievers can look successful but still feel off, how repeating patterns show up in relationships, money, career, and burnout, and how this method helps you stop comparing yourself to others and start making aligned choices. They also unpack a grounded reframe. Your hardest season might be a sign you are playing someone else's script, or it might be a core life lesson already baked into your path. Either way, clarity comes from learning your cards, spotting the energy pattern, and choosing your next micro-move on purpose. About the Guests: Alexander and Viki are the creators behind Source Cards, a system that uses the 52-card deck to help people identify personal patterns, soul lessons, and life themes based on birthdate. Their work supports high-performing individuals who want more alignment, self-acceptance, and clarity. Alexander is also the author of Play Your Cards Right. A Sacred Guide to Life on Earth. Key Takeaways The 52-card deck is used as a symbolic “hidden in plain sight” framework to reflect your birth card and a 13-card life path. Feeling “good on paper but off inside” can be a signal you are running unconscious patterns by default. Repeating cycles in love, money, health, career, or burnout often point to an upgrade your life is asking for. Knowing your “cards to play” can reduce comparison and self-judgment, and increase self-acceptance and empathy for others. The first micro-move is simple. Look up your birth card and personality card, then check if it resonates before going deeper. A hard season can mean you are struggling against your nature by following someone else's success script. A hard season can also be a core lesson in your life path, including challenge, Saturn, and Pluto themes tied to growth and shadow work. Authentic alignment can cost relationships that depend on you staying in an old role, and that discomfort can be part of the path. Weekly challenge. Pick one stuck area, write where the pattern repeated over 5 years, then ask what skill life is training in you. Clarity first, then choice. The goal is not fate. It's using insight to make better decisions.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss “Holiday Heart,” AKA atrial fabulation (A-Fib) when the heart beats like a bag of worms and is caused by excessive drinking alcohol and binge-drinking. It can really lead to A-fib, put you in the hospital and ruin the festivities and celebration. Doug and Dr. Ken agree that alcohol is overrated. They aren't alone. Statistics indicate that fewer and fewer people are drinking and less alcohol is being sold than years prior. Then, the conversation switches to the flu and a rapidly increasing number of flu-related hospitalizations. This year, the flu is not a single strain, showing mutations allowing it to evade current flu vaccines. Shifting focus to longevity and health, Doug and Dr. Ken address research on populations with super-agers shows they don't eat a lot of meat. For instance, many in Japan who live mostly on fish products tend to live an average of at least 10 years longer than those who eat meats. Additionally, those who eat highly processed meats tend to live shorter lives. Listener questions addressed include heightened digestive problems due to the holidays, how do we know what medications are best for us and how to trust Big Pharma, and much more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Charu sits down with Matt Johnson to unpack how hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can help people clear PTSD, anxiety, emotional baggage, and subconscious programming that keeps life stuck on autopilot. Matt shares his real-life recovery story after a severe brain injury and a PTSD diagnosis, then breaks down why many people don't get lasting results when they only work with the conscious mind. If you're tired of surface-level self-help, this conversation gets straight into practical tools, mindset rewiring, and what real healing looks like when you upgrade the “operating system” running your behaviors, habits, and reactions. About the Guest: Matt Johnson is a hypnosis and NLP specialist who helps people shift subconscious patterns behind anxiety, trauma responses, limiting beliefs, and emotional overwhelm. After years of struggling with PTSD and a brain injury, he built a practical approach to healing by combining hypnosis, NLP, and deep research into subconscious change. Key Takeaways: A brain injury can be amplified by unresolved trauma responses, especially when PTSD keeps the nervous system locked in fight or flight. Matt's turning point came after a SPECT scan showed abnormal brain activity patterns linked to PTSD, not permanent tissue damage. Many people get limited progress when they only use talk therapy or medication, because most change requires working with the subconscious mind. The subconscious can run automatic “programs” that shape habits, stress responses, and relationship reactions without conscious permission. Hypnosis is not mind control. You can accept or reject suggestions at any time, even in deep trance. NLP can create fast shifts by giving emotions a “structure” (color, shape, direction) and then changing that structure intentionally. “You're not broken” is not a quote for the wall. It's a strategy shift from identity blame to pattern change. Early-life imprinting (roughly ages 0–7) can install beliefs that feel like truth, but they are editable with the right tools. Real healing looks like removing the root patterns so the same stress does not keep returning in new forms. If traditional routes are not working, it's logical to diversify approaches and build a roadmap that actually fits you. How Listeners Can Connect with the Guest: Matt Johnson NLP Free course: NLP Mind Magic (includes exercises for anxiety, procrastination, imposter syndrome, and more).

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with "Heather-Ann" Ferri to unpack what it really means to move from surviving a family story to consciously rewriting your legacy. Heather-Ann shares how childhood trauma and generational patterns can shape our nervous system, self-worth, relationships, and even the way we chase achievement for approval. The conversation stays practical. Breathwork as a foundation for nervous system regulation. Journaling as a tool to spot patterns and reclaim your voice. A realistic take on healing that is not linear, not pretty, but absolutely possible. If you feel stuck in survival mode, overachieving, people-pleasing, or carrying a “heavy family story,” this episode gives you a clear starting point. About the Guest: Heather-Ann Ferri is an author, speaker, healer, and educator working at the intersection of trauma recovery, self-leadership, and spiritual growth. Her upcoming book, Transcending Victim to Goddess, blends memoir with a practical self-love and healing framework designed to help readers disrupt generational cycles and rebuild from the inside out. Key Takeaways: “Victim to goddess” is not a vibe. It is a decision to face what happened, name the patterns, and reclaim your identity without letting family systems define you. Healing is not linear. Expect layers. Progress can look like getting out of bed and choosing not to escape your life today. Breathwork is the baseline tool. Changing breath patterns helps change stress patterns, emotional reactivity, and survival responses. Start simple. Notice if your inhale feels tight. Ask what you struggle to receive, not just what you give. Overachieving and people-pleasing can be trauma strategies. Breath and body awareness help you stop outsourcing worth to performance. Journaling works best when you have prompts. If you do not know what to ask yourself, guided questions reduce overwhelm and create structure. Quiet time is not optional if you want change. Reflection, meditation, and writing help you hear your inner compass again. Creative expression counts as healing. Five minutes of dancing, singing, drawing, walking, or play can reconnect you to “I am enough.” You can rewrite legacy without waiting for the perfect therapist. Start with one breath and one honest page.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Paul Whitten, a combat veteran and founder of Nashville Adventures, to talk about mental health, identity after military service, and how storytelling becomes real-world therapy. Paul breaks down how getting out of an “echo chamber” of pain. Through community, purpose, and structured routines. Helped him move through injury, survivor's guilt, and burnout. They also go deep on bootstrapped entrepreneurship, why service-based businesses fight harder for visibility, and how learning the basics of ROI, marketing, and leadership can protect your mental wellness while scaling. If you are dealing with burnout, trauma, or feeling stuck in survival mode. This conversation gives a practical roadmap: small acts of service, honest storytelling, and habits that actually hold when life gets chaotic. About the Guest: Paul Whitten is a combat veteran, returned Peace Corps volunteer, former UK Parliamentary Fellow, and the founder of Nashville Adventures, a veteran-owned walking tour company known for immersive storytelling and historical accuracy. His work centers community impact, including giving back to veteran-related causes, and building a business culture shaped by lessons from both great and terrible leadership. Key Takeaways: Storytelling can be a mental health tool. It pulls you out of rumination and into meaning after trauma or burnout. If you are stuck in an echo chamber of pain. Change the room. Volunteer, teach, guide, or join a community that meets you with a blank slate. Routines beat “mindset hacks”. Paul rebuilt momentum through physical therapy, museum tours, then consistent learning. Service is a bridge out of isolation. Giving respect and appreciation often brings it back, which steadies your nervous system. Bootstrapping is stressful. But naive optimism helps you start before fear talks you out of it. Entrepreneurship is priorities and ROI. Learn the basics. P&L, balance sheet, marketing fundamentals. Knowledge compounds fast. Learn from bad leadership too. Paul used painful corporate lessons to build a healthier culture and customer experience. Keep work fun enough to sustain. If it feels like a toxic job, burnout shows up fast. Grinding is the differentiator. Not IQ, not credentials. Consistency turns skeptics into competitors. Micro challenge. Write one tough chapter in 10 minutes, share one honest piece with someone you trust, do one small act of service this month.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Eric D. Coonrod, a boutique investment banker, to unpack the entrepreneurial mindset behind scaling a company and selling it without burning out. This episode gets real about why exits can feel like an identity shock, how deal stress quietly tanks decision quality, and why psychological readiness should be treated like a core KPI alongside valuation. Eric breaks down exit paths like full sale vs majority recap, then shares practical ways founders can protect sleep, health, and relationships while navigating diligence, negotiation, and team communication. About the Guest: Eric D. Coonrod is a 20-year investment banking veteran involved in 100+ transactions across healthcare, food and beverage, VMS, and sports. He is the founder of E. Coonrod and Company, LLC, advising founders on deals, debt, and capital raises with a full-stack approach that includes tax, communications, and personal health awareness. Key Takeaways: Selling a business can hit harder emotionally than founders expect because the company often becomes their identity. A big exit check does not automatically fix burnout. It can even amplify it if you have no plan post-deal. Prep for the exit should include psychological readiness, not just financial readiness and deal structure. Consider exit options early. A majority recap can reduce admin burden while keeping you close to the work you actually love. Neglecting self-care during a sale increases poor decisions. Deal fatigue is real and it kills outcomes. The sale process adds major weekly workload on top of running operations. Protect your health to protect judgment. Keep a non-negotiable wellness anchor. Training, walking, or family time keeps mental clarity stable under pressure. Employees fear layoffs and culture shifts. Timing and messaging matter, so disclose only when the deal is mature. Coach the transition narrative with the buyer. Clear reassurance reduces churn and stabilizes performance pre-close. Post-exit peace requires an actual plan. Define what you will do in the first 6 months and what comes after.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Mike Barefoot to unpack how movement builds more than muscles. It builds discipline, mindset, emotional regulation, and leadership performance. Mike shares why physical outlets like martial arts, workouts, walking, and simple daily activity help professionals vent stress without torching relationships at work. They also break down the real hack most people miss. Consistency beats intensity, and incremental progress turns fitness into a lifestyle instead of a short-term grind. If you want better focus, less burnout, and stronger decision-making, this conversation links fitness and mental health in a way that's practical and repeatable. About the Guest: Mike Barefoot has spent 27+ years in the staffing industry, placing 1,000+ professionals, generating $50M+ in revenue, and earning top awards like Rookie of the Year, Performer of the Year, and multiple Presidents Club honors. He is also a 37-year martial arts practitioner, a 7th degree black belt in karate, plus advanced ranks in jujitsu and kickboxing, and a multi-time Hall of Fame inductee. Mike speaks to MBA students, executives, and entrepreneurs on performance, balance, and sustainable excellence. Key Takeaways: Physical outlets reduce stress spillover. Training gives you a clean place to “dump pressure” so you show up calmer at work and at home. Balance is a performance strategy, not a luxury. When energy is distributed across life areas, productivity and resilience improve. Compete with yourself, not the room. Self-accountability creates consistent growth without chasing external validation. Perfection in results is rare. “Perfect intent” means daily effort aligned to your goals even when outcomes vary. Set incremental targets. Instead of chasing 50 pounds or 2-hour workouts, aim for small wins like 10 to 15 minutes daily. Avoid the “ready, set, stop” trap in business. Delays and hurdles happen. Use movement to prevent frustration from damaging relationships. Momentum matters. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Small action keeps you progressing. Use micro-journaling. Track activity on a mini calendar or your phone so your brain can't inflate effort. Limited time can improve focus. Small windows force sharper training and sharper studying, especially for young professionals. Movement upgrades decision-making. More energy and clarity leads to better choices and less burnout over time. How Listeners Can Connect With Mike: Email: LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Wellness can feel complicated, but most of what matters for long, healthy living is surprisingly simple. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with my longtime friend Dr. Ezekiel “Zeke” Emanuel—oncologist, bioethicist, and author of Eat Your Ice Cream—to explore six core principles that support longevity, from food and movement to social connection and purpose. Zeke shares what we're getting wrong about wellness, why community matters more than we think, and how small choices can reshape both our health and our healthcare system. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • Why simple habits outperform extreme biohacks—and how to build them into daily life • How social connection protects your health as powerfully as diet and exercise • What to eat for longevity without tracking, restricting, or following trends • How movement, strength, and flexibility each support long-term health and function • What actually improves sleep when you can't “try harder” to rest Longevity isn't about obsession. It's about balance, community, and simple choices. The basics still work, and they matter more than ever.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Bud Kraus, creator of the podcast Seriously Bud, for a real conversation about living with chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder and suicidal ideation. Bud shares what “silent suffering” looked like for him, why so many people mask pain with humor and what actually helped him move one day at a time. They talk about practical coping tools, getting support without shame, the role of counseling and medication and how purpose and family can shift your relationship with mental health over time. If you're navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or emotional burnout, this episode focuses on grounded support, honest language and why asking for help is a strength at any age. About the Guest: Bud Kraus is a long-time educator and creator in the WordPress community and the host of Seriously Bud, a human-story podcast exploring life journeys, resilience and reinvention. He speaks openly about his experience with depression and suicidal ideation and how support systems, creativity and meaning helped him move forward. Key Takeaways: Depression can be chronic and still invisible. Bud describes how people often use a “happy face” while privately struggling with mental health. Seasonal shifts can amplify symptoms. He names winter and shorter days as a trigger pattern tied to seasonal affective disorder. Normalize asking direct questions. A pivotal moment came when someone finally asked Bud if he had suicidal thoughts, helping him realize those thoughts aren't “normal” for most people. Progress is usually a small pivot, not a miracle moment. Bud points to finding a trusted professional and structured support as a turning point. Coping can be practical and personal. For Bud, playing guitar created short-term relief and mental transport when the day felt unmanageable. Medication and therapy can be part of a healthy toolkit. He frames both as support options, not moral judgments. Purpose can return later than you expect. Bud ties healing to relationships, family and future joy that felt impossible during darker seasons.

In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Jacquie Elliott to break down why holiday stress and family dynamics can crank up your inner critic. Fast. Jacquie reframes “self criticism” as abusive brain chatter. A deeper pattern of emotional self-abuse that fuels low self-worth, comparison and people-pleasing. You'll learn her ABCs framework to interrupt the spiral, rebuild self-respect and practice self-love in a practical way through awareness, belief and challenge. About the Guest: Jacquie Elliott is a certified spiritual and relationship coach, seasoned radio host and motivational speaker. She's the author of The Silent Bully: A Journey from Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love, and teaches simple tools to shift from “tornado head” into boundaries, presence and a healthier inner relationship. Key Takeaways: Name the inner critic for what it is. Jacquie calls it “abusive brain chatter”. Not just negative thoughts but a pattern that bullies, belittles and gaslights you, especially during holiday pressure and family triggers. Use the ABCs framework in real time. A is Aware: notice the script and write it down. B is Belief: reconnect to a loving inner source through journaling, meditation, prayer or a grounding ritual. C is Challenge: replace old core beliefs like “I'm not enough” with one sentence that is 10% kinder and more true. Watch for “Tornado Head”. That spiral where one mistake becomes a whole identity story. The reset is to return “home” to the present moment and get heart centered before you problem solve. Make self love practical. Start with 2 to 3 minutes of meditation. Journal both voices. List your top values and check alignment. Take small actions that build self respect and reduce shame. Build momentum with micro wins. Random acts of kindness and gratitude can create a dopamine lift that supports consistency, confidence and healthier boundaries. Holiday reminder. You do not need perfect mindset. You need a tool you will actually use when things get loud, tense or triggering.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Yusuf talks with Brett Gallant, a New Brunswick Canada IT and cybersecurity business owner who hit 349 pounds while running on burnout and grief after his father's death. Brett breaks down the real weight loss transformation behind the before and after. Not hacks. A rebuild of identity, priorities, and daily systems. He shares his October 2023 “decision day” moment, why mindset is a muscle, and how consistent 10 minute walks can compound into sustainable fat loss, stronger mental health, and better leadership at work and home. If you are stuck in stress, emotional eating, or nonstop responsibilities, this is a practical reset for health, boundaries, and discipline that actually lasts. About the guest: Brett Gallant is a Canadian entrepreneur and cybersecurity business owner. After reaching 349 pounds and feeling exhausted and disconnected from himself, he committed to a structured health reset. He has released about 140 pounds so far and shares his systems around mindset training, food as fuel, accountability, and sustainable habits for busy professionals. Key takeaways: Burnout recovery and weight loss often start with one uncomfortable truth, not a gym membership. “Decision day” creates commitment. Brett chose October 2023 as the line in the sand. Put your oxygen mask on first. Self care is a leadership strategy, not selfishness. Mindset is a muscle. Train it daily when the scale stalls and business gets chaotic. Stop treating progress like a highlight reel. Celebrate non scale wins like showing up. You cannot out exercise a bad diet. Rebuild your relationship with food, from emotional coping to fuel. Consistency compounds. Start with 10 minutes, then stack three short walks if needed. Treat yourself like your best client. Schedule movement like a non negotiable meeting. Accountability helps. Go public or share goals with a peer group, then keep promises to yourself. Expect setbacks. Do not spiral. Catch it, reset fast, and keep going. Bigger bodies are not a discipline problem. Discipline can exist in work and family, then be redirected to health. Sustainable change improves leadership, energy, and how you show up for family and team. How listeners can connect with the guest: Instagram DM him the word “travel” to get his travel hack guide for staying on track while traveling For cybersecurity conversations: connect with Brett through his Instagram and ask about his cybersecurity work Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Jon Bowerman, lifelong entrepreneur and author of You Are Not Lost, You Are Just Starting, to reframe uncertainty, career pivots, and feeling behind. Jon breaks down why “being lost” is not a failure. It's signal data. They talk about entrepreneurship as a mindset (not a job title), how to show up as the CEO of yourself even inside a 9 to 5, and why small actions build real confidence after burnout or setbacks. If you are navigating a career crossroads, rebuilding purpose, or trying to design a life you do not want to escape from, this conversation is a practical reset. About the Guest Jon Bowerman is a creative strategist, designer, and co-founder with deep experience in marketing and entrepreneurship. He helps people think like entrepreneurs by solving real problems, negotiating with clarity, and building a life aligned with purpose, not pressure. Key Takeaways: Feeling “lost” usually comes from old systems that push one fixed path (school, job, retirement). Real growth needs flexibility and the ability to pivot without shame. You do not need to start a business to think like an entrepreneur. Treat your career like you are the CEO of yourself and your employer as your biggest client. Ask for what you want. Many people quit before they even try a direct conversation about compensation, role design, or growth. The downside is often smaller than your fear says it is. Stop calling every setback a failure. If you extract the lesson and apply it, it becomes training data for your next move. Confidence is rebuilt in reps, not speeches. Start small, iterate fast, and stack wins one step at a time. The best business ideas are not magic inspiration. They come from listening to recurring problems people complain about, then building real-world solutions. Chasing a single “big moment” can backfire. John shares how achieving a major exit still triggered identity loss, which pushed him to focus on the journey and daily alignment. Your inner child still holds useful direction. Reconnect with what energized you early in life and bring that thread into what you build now. For parents, the “career vs family” conflict is real. Designing balance is part of building a life you do not want to retire from.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Alisha Esmail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to unpack a founder truth most people avoid. Burnout is not a badge, it's a bottleneck. Alisha shares how burning out three times forced her to rebuild her business approach with stronger systems, clearer priorities, and a “harmony over balance” mindset. They break down her Five Tanks Framework (emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual) and a practical daily check-in to spot depletion before it snowballs. They also get real about using AI and automation to buy back time without losing the human edge. If you're building a company, leading a team, or just tired of the hustle narrative, this one is a clean reset. About the Guest: Alisha Esmail is a purpose-led founder behind one of Canada's recognized coffee brands and a builder working at the intersection of AI, human performance, and sustainability. She teaches founders how to reduce burnout through systems, clarity, and her Five Tanks Framework. Key Takeaways: Burnout repeats when recovery is treated like a break, not a redesign of how you operate. “Harmony” beats “balance”. Some seasons require intensity, but the system has to pay you back with time later. The line between healthy intensity and overextension is context. Most “emergencies” can wait till tomorrow. Use the “three cards” rule. Limit how often you pull people into after-hours work so you don't burn out the team. Five Tanks Framework is universal: emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual. The refill method can vary by personality and season. A fast daily audit works: draw five circles, label the tanks, score each 1 to 10, then act on the lowest tank first. Empty tanks show up as short temper, conflict, anxiety, spiraling thoughts, and feeling out of control. AI should not replace thinking. It should remove repetitive tasks so founders stay in strategy, creativity, and leadership. Practical AI win: rewrite intense messages to reduce conflict and prevent “emotional shrapnel” in relationships. Scarcity is not a reason to self-destruct. It can be a forcing function for creativity and smarter leverage. Clarity kills chaos: define your real end goal, then work backward instead of sprinting toward a vague “success.” Community Guidelines Check (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn): Not violating.

*Listener Discretion: This episode includes discussion of graphic violence and disturbing content. Some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care while listening and consider skipping this episode if you are sensitive to these topics. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Charu sits down with Bernard “Chalky” White to unpack a resilience-first life story that goes from childhood abuse to policing to a bold midlife pivot into ski instructing and global travel. The core framework is brutally simple and weirdly powerful. Two questions that cut through procrastination, fear and regret: “What if I don't?” and “What if I do?” Chalky explains how those questions helped him resign from a career he'd grown to hate, rebuild his identity and keep moving forward even after witnessing traumatic events on the job. If you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, low confidence or “I'm too late” energy, this conversation is a practical mindset reset focused on action, courage and mental health. About the Guest: Bernard “Chalky” White is a former UK police officer turned long-time ski instructor and author. He shares lessons from adversity, career reinvention and his book Keep Chewing the Granite: How Two Questions Can Change Your Life, built around a decision-making method designed to replace regret with forward motion. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable decision you practice when life feels heavy and your options look limited. The “What if I don't?” question exposes real costs. Regret, stagnation and staying stuck in a career or identity that drains you. The “What if I do?” question creates momentum. It turns fear into a plan and replaces avoidance with intentional action. Procrastination often hides clarity. Chalky knew what he wanted for years, then one honest night of questions forced a clean decision. Reinvention is allowed at any age. Starting skiing at 26 and building a decades-long path proves “late” is usually just a story. Trauma can shape you without owning you. Chalky acknowledges hard memories while choosing humor, meaning and forward progress. A strong mindset is not “positive vibes.” It is confronting consequences, choosing courage and doing the tough stuff anyway. Simple tools scale. Two questions can support mental health, career change, confidence and decision-making across business and life. When you feel stuck, ask better questions. Then take one small step that matches the answer you actually want to live.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu gets real about late-night cravings, emotional eating, and the binge-shame-repeat loop. Guest Nadege “Nan” Saysana breaks down why cravings often aren't about food at all, they're about unmet emotional needs like stress, loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm. You'll hear a practical framework for separating physical hunger from emotional urges, how habit loops get wired, and why “knowing the why” isn't enough without learning emotional regulation skills. Nan also shares her personal turning point after decades of binge cycles, plus a simple self-check method to reduce cravings intensity without restriction. If you struggle with binge eating at night, sugar cravings, stress eating, or food noise, this conversation is built to help you regain agency, without gimmicks, shame, or a fake 7-day fix. About the Guest: Nadege “Nan” Saysana helps people stop binge eating by addressing the emotional drivers behind cravings. Based in Paris, she teaches practical tools to build new coping habits, reduce food noise, and shift from self-judgment to self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Cravings feel physical, but if you've already eaten enough, the urge is often emotional, not hunger. “Comfort food” works like a short-term mood hack, then backfires with guilt, stress, and more urges. Many people were never taught emotional skills, so the brain defaults to external soothing like food, scrolling, or binge-watching. The goal isn't perfection. It's replacing the old habit loop with a new one that actually processes feelings. Curiosity beats shame. Treat urges like data. Ask: what emotion is driving this right now? Quick self-regulation practices like a self-hug style touch routine can lower craving intensity without restriction. Restriction can increase binge intensity over time, like a rubber band snap effect. Hormones and medications can amplify hunger. If emotional tools don't help, it's smart to consult a qualified clinician. Power shifts when you stop framing sugar as “in control” and start owning your choices and patterns. Progress looks like urges getting quieter, faster recovery after stress, and calmer decision-making around food.

When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.
